Integrated cable lock
With an integrated cable lock (sometimes referred to as a Kensington lock), you
can secure your computer to a desk, table, or other non-permanent fixture. The
cable lock attaches to a security slot at the rear of your computer and is operated
with a key. This is the same type of lock used with many laptop computers. You
can order a cable lock directly from IBM. Go to http://www.pc.ibm.com/support
and search on Kensington.

Changing the battery
Your computer has a special type of memory that maintains the date, time, and
settings for built-in features, such as parallel-port assignments (configuration). A
battery keeps this information active when you turn off the computer.
The battery normally requires no charging or maintenance throughout its life;
however, no battery lasts forever. If the battery fails, the date, time, and
configuration information (including passwords) are lost. An error message is
displayed when you turn on the computer.
